When business meets pastime

Hobbies are a great way to stay happy, learn and add to your personality. Most pick certain hobbies or hobbies to suit their personality or purpose. And many are now turning their hobby into a lucrative career. We ask a few such creative people how to turn one's hobby into something enjoyable and bring in the cash.

Introducing them

Vinayak Garg is a founder of Lazy Gardener. "Gardening has always been a source of happiness, comfort, and creativity for me. As time went by, I noticed that many people were interested in gardening but found it difficult to regularly maintain their gardens due to various reasons. This inspired me to design ways that make gardening less complicated and more enjoyable hence turning my hobby into business eventually.”

Story of Zohra Bagasrawala is similar. She is a Mumbai-based 22-year-old crochet artist. “For me, crochet is about turning simple yarn into beautiful things. During the lockdown, when things got a bit anxious, I decided to revisit my old hobby. That’s when my professional journey began, and it really helped me manage my anxiety during that time.”
